Analysis of the Performances of Biogas-Fuelled Micro Gas Turbine Cogeneration Systems (MGT-CGSs) in Middle- and Small-Scale Sewage Treatment Plants: Comparison of Performances and Optimization of Mgts with Various Electrical Power Outputs

The suitable size (electricity output capacity) of micro gas turbine cogeneration systems (MGT-CGSs) depending on scale of the sewage treatment plant was investigated. Since heat demand of the plant is affected by ambient temperature, performance under three typical ambient temperature conditions wa...
